Surviving the Switch: A Zero-Downtime Database Migration Strategy for Nordic Systems

Moving a critical database isn't just about executing a dump command. It is about preserving data integrity, minimizing latency to NIX, and ensuring GDPR compliance. Here is the battle-tested roadmap for migrating to high-performance NVMe infrastructure.

The CTO’s Guide to Cutting Hosting Costs: Why 'Unlimited' Cloud Resources Are Bankrupting Your Stack

Is your "scalable" cloud infrastructure costing double what it should? We analyze the hidden overhead of noisy neighbors, audit KVM vs. OpenVZ performance in 2015, and define the real cost of latency for Norwegian businesses.

Taming the Docker Beast: Early Impressions of Google's Kubernetes from a Nordic Sysadmin

Docker containers are changing how we deploy, but managing them across multiple hosts is a nightmare. We dive deep into Google's new Kubernetes project, setup a manual cluster on CentOS 7, and explain why KVM-based hosting like CoolVDS is mandatory for container security.

Scaling Nginx: The Art of the Millisecond API Gateway in a Post-Apache World

In late 2014, mobile latency is the silent killer of user retention. This guide dissects kernel-level tuning, Nginx reverse proxy configurations, and why SSD-backed KVM infrastructure is mandatory for high-performance APIs targeting the Nordic market.

Docker in Production: Taming the Security Beast Before It Bites

Containerization is revolutionizing deployment, but the security model in 2014 is still the Wild West. From Shellshock mitigation to kernel namespaces, here is how to run Docker securely on Norwegian infrastructure without exposing root.

The Latency Killer: Tuning Nginx as an API Gateway for Sub-Millisecond Performance (2014 Edition)

Is your API infrastructure ready for the holiday traffic spikes? We dive deep into kernel-level tuning, Nginx optimization, and the critical importance of I/O throughput in a post-Snowden data sovereignty landscape.

Scaling API Latency: Nginx Tuning & Kernel Optimization Guide (2014 Edition)

Don't let connection overhead kill your API performance. A deep dive into Nginx worker tuning, Linux TCP stack optimization, and why IOPS matter for Norwegian developers.

Automating Compliance: Surviving the Datatilsynet Audit with Ansible and KVM

Manual server hardening is a liability in 2014. Learn how to automate security compliance for Norwegian standards using Ansible, IPTables, and AIDE on high-performance KVM infrastructure.

Surviving Shellshock: Automating Security Compliance for Norwegian Enterprise Infrastructure

The Shellshock vulnerability exposed how fragile manual server management is. Learn how to use Puppet and Chef to automate security compliance, satisfy Datatilsynet requirements, and lock down your infrastructure in minutes, not days.

Surviving the Traffic Spike: A Sysadmin’s Guide to Monitoring Infrastructure at Scale (2014 Edition)

Stop relying on load averages and ping checks. Learn how to monitor CPU steal, I/O wait, and Nginx throughput using Zabbix and custom Bash scripts on CentOS 7, specifically tailored for the Norwegian hosting market.

Latency Kills: Architecting Low-Latency Applications at the Nordic Edge

In 2014, the 'cloud' is nebulous, but physics is constant. Learn how to leverage regional VPS in Norway to slash TTFB, utilize Varnish 4 caching, and comply with Datatilsynet requirements without sacrificing IOPS.

Escaping the Vendor Trap: A Pragmatic Hybrid Cloud Architecture for Norwegian Enterprises

It is July 2014. The cloud is maturing, but vendor lock-in and data sovereignty are real risks. Learn how to architect a robust hybrid setup using HAProxy, OpenVPN, and KVM-based VPS to keep your data safe in Norway while leveraging global scale.

Scaling the Edge: High-Performance API Proxy Tuning with Nginx on CentOS 7

Default Linux configurations are not built for thousands of concurrent REST API requests. In this guide, we strip down the kernel, tune Nginx workers, and explain why high-IOPS SSD storage is the only viable option for modern SOA deployments in Norway.
